How do I create an empty DataFrame
, then add rows, one by one?
I created an empty DataFrame
:
df = pd.DataFrame(columns=('lib', 'qty1', 'qty2'))
Then I can add a new row at the end and fill a single field with:
df = df._set_value(index=len(df), col='qty1', value=10.0)
It works for only one field at a time. What is a better way to add new row to df
?

You can use df.loc[i]
, where the row with index i
will be what you specify it to be in the dataframe.
>>> import pandas as pd >>> from numpy.random import randint >>> df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['lib', 'qty1', 'qty2']) >>> for i in range(5): >>> df.loc[i] = ['name' + str(i)] + list(randint(10, size=2)) >>> df lib qty1 qty2 0 name0 3 3 1 name1 2 4 2 name2 2 8 3 name3 2 1 4 name4 9 6
